Ruby has observed that plants in her garden vary in height. She wants to investigate whether a plant species (species A) grows faster than the other garden species (species B, C, and D). Select the statement that describes Ruby gathering enough evidence to support a scientific explanation concerning plant growth rates

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) Ruby measures the heights of several species A, B, C, and D plants for a week under different conditions and finds a journal article that describes the growth rate of species A.

B) Ruby measures the height of a species A plant for a week and finds an anonymous gardening blog that describes the growth rate of species A.

C) Ruby measures the heights of several species A, B, C, and D plants for a week under the same conditions.

D) Ruby measures the heights of several species A, B, C, and D plants for a week under the same conditions and finds journal articles that describe the growth rates of each species.

The answer is D

Explanation:

According to this question, Ruby wants to investigate whether a plant species A in her garden grows faster than other plant species (B, C and D) due to the varying height she observed in them. To do this, Ruby will need to conduct a scientific investigation by measuring the height of all the plant species she is trying to compare (A, B, C, D).

However, she must do the measurements under the same conditions i.e. controlled in order not to influence the result. In order to make a scientific explanation concerning the plant growth rates, Ruby should find journal articles that describe the growth rates of each species and make comparison with her experimental/measured height values.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (a)0
